Is the Fergie article the first down payment for Ash I wonder?

Welcome to the club Eck.  Good luck.

[The Moose]

Well, at least things can't get any worse!

Well, at least things can't get any worse!

Wait till Bowyer rocks up at Bodymoor Heath.

Welcome and good Alex - you will get a fair crack of the whip from me....until we're two down at half-time to Fulham that is

[Chris Smith]

He's one of us now so all the best Alex.

Not the choice most of us would have made but we can either behave like a toddler who hasn't got way or accept it and give the bloke a sporting chance.

[mr woo]

sigh.........

best of luck Alex and welcome.

[Merv]

Very good at working with limited resources, is the mantra I keep reading. I think we know what's coming next. Prove me wrong, Villa.

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

As someone said, not who I particularly wanted, but here's here, so I will support him, starting with renewing my season ticket before the end of the month.

[Brend'Watkins]

Good luck Alex, you're a good man, hopefully you will be a great manager with us.

[Duncan Shaw]

Well I hoped until the very last second that there might be another twist, but hey ho.
You're here now, so get on with replacing Ash, keeping Downing and buying some defenders!  With a fair wind and the Villa Gods behind you it may just work out.  You've certainly been handed a lucky start!
Good luck and welcome to the finest club in the land.

Welcome to Aston Villa, Alex.

Good Luck.  Let's hope it's a bright future for us all.

[Greg N'Ash]

A very odd appointment. Stan Lerner may very well have lost his marbles.  Good luck Alex. You either have delusional belief levels in your own ability or you're as mad as Randy.

Arse biscuits.
